FMS Blue

I have a 20 foot pair that I bought around the same time. I'd also like to know some info about this product / company. Are they still around?

FMS stands for "Favorite Music Systems". This brand was sold by Joe Harley and Bill Low originally. They went on to found Audioquest. The first of their cables were marked FMS by Audioquest. Then the name changed to Livewire, then to just Audioquest.

I hope I am remembering this correctly. I was one of the first Audioquest dealers and seem to recall this history.

The FMS blue that you have, became Livewire Type 6, then Audioquest Blue...I think.

Smooth and even response from bottom through top ends.
Bass is acceptable.
Somewhat veiled compared to today's cables, but very good in its time.
Not as quiet as today's cables.
Build quality and RCA's were good.

In their current market FMS Blue was excellent.
Value today??? Probably not too much.

The web site for FMS is below. I have some of his newer cables. The Blues are about 20 or more years old. If you need a cable for your center speaker send me an email we can work out a deal. Alex worked with AudioQuest then went on his own. Your Blues could be his or thiers. He was based out of NH when those cables were made.
